Richard Huish College was recently visited by several former students who are now professionals in the sports industry.
The alumni returned to the school in Taunton to speak to sport, exercise and coaching students at a career-focused event.
The event kicked off with Rhys Beer, who works for England and Wales Cricket Board and Next Wave Sports and Media, talking about 'the business of sport.'
Students were split into groups to attend different employer-led sessions, offering the students insights into sports-based careers.
Fun activities included archery practice and a 'hop test'.
The informative workshops also featured other former students who work in the sports industry.
This included Steph Moreland, from Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership; Simon Ingram, who is now a physiotherapist at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust; and Jack Lyons, from Cardiff Metropolitan University.
Other contributors included Toni Smyth from the Somerset Cricket Foundation and Ellie Tickner from Premier Education.
Anyone working in the sports industry who is interested in engaging with Richard Huish College should contact careers@richuish.ac.uk.
